i would like to use the long runners of the blox intake manifold on my b20vtec. i believe its similar to a type r manifold.

i have the blox ls intake manifold. i want to mount it to a gsr head by welding the gsr flange on the blox manifold. no point in buying a new blox manifold for a gsr if i can fab my own using unused parts.

Let us know how it goes..Ive been thinking of doing the same thing except welding a Ls flange to a Gsr manifold..Why? Because its free and better than a stock ls manifold.

yeah, or couldn't you just modify the flange on the manifold you want to use, rather than cut and weld the whole thing? i've modified a type r manifold to fit to an ls head. it isn't that complicated.

great point. i kinda wanted to use all the studs and not have to relocate the water port. do you have any pics of your old mani. that would be a big help. thanks for all the positive replies.

Same reason as above...I just want everything to line up perfect and want to use all the studs.

If you have pictures or could explain that would be awesome.
